The Ambassador in Great Britain (Bingham) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 15.]
Sir: Pursuant to your instruction No. 255 of February 20, 1934, concerning the further representations to be made in the case of the Armes Automatiques Lewis Company, I have the honor to inform you that I called on the Foreign Minister yesterday afternoon and handed to him a note, No. 362 of March 5, 1934, the copy of which is enclosed herewith.15 At the same time I conveyed to Sir John Simon your views as expressed in that instruction, emphasizing that my Government regarded the early settlement of this case, through the optional procedure suggested, as a matter of the first importance.
Sir John Simon, without going into the details of the case, assured me that he would give my note his earnest consideration as soon as practicable.
Respectfully yours,
